Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Kakashi's eyes widened in fury: "Uchiha, Yu!!"

"Yo, Kakashi, we meet again..." Lin Yu said.

"When did you...?"

"Probably the moment you left your residence, my men spotted you, and then, well, good heavens..."

Jingle bells!

Lin Yu flicked his sleeve, and countless kunai fell to the ground with a crisp sound...

Kakashi was ashamed.

Yu's cold voice rang out: "You buried these things in a hidden corner of my Dark Hidden Village, is it so that your teacher Minato can come and go from my village like it's his own backyard? There's a limit to how much you can underestimate someone..."

A roar! Purple chakra was released from his body, the ground trembled, and the kunai beneath Lin Yu's feet was melted into molten iron...

Kakashi was nearly suffocating, gripping the Flying Thunder God kunai tightly: Before this chakra, my whole body trembled uncontrollably. This… this is the genuine Shadow, Uchiha Yu? However, there was still a glimmer of hope. If I channeled my chakra into this kunai, Minato-sensei would sense it and rush over immediately…

Kamui!

*Snap!* Lin Yu transferred the Flying Thunder God Kunai from Kakashi's hand.

Lin Yu coldly replied, "I saw right through your little scheme..."

Kakashi closed his eyes, utterly despondent: "Is this the end? My life, and the lives of everyone in Konoha... I've been so useless..."

Lin Yu strode towards Kakashi and then extended his hand.

"Konoha Power Cyclone!!"

Suddenly, a passionate shout rang out, and a green figure descended, unleashing a powerful whirlwind...

Whoosh! It passed right through Lin Yu.

"Kai!!" Kakashi stared at the figure in front of him.

"Kakashi, as your rival and best friend, I sensed long ago that you came with a mission, so I secretly followed you. It was definitely the right choice..."

Kai said reliably, striking his signature pose, his face showing no fear: "Uchiha Yu, standing here is Konoha's proud 'Green Beast,' Might Guy!"

Lin Yu lowered his hand and calmly said, "Azure... So, you can now open the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of View? Although you're still not as good as your father Might Guy, it's already quite remarkable..."

"What?!" Kai exclaimed in surprise, "You know about the Eight Gates and my father?!"

"Everyone knows that your father, Might Guy, single-handedly reduced the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to a trio. However..." Lin Yu thought to himself, "Kai, that's nothing compared to your peak achievements. With all eight gates open, you are the only one who can challenge a god with a mortal body."

The name of Kai is no exaggeration!

Lin Yu thought to himself: Kai might really become a threat to me in the future. Should I...?

But then I thought: Oh well, worries are the driving force to become stronger. By then, I will be so strong that even the Eight Gates Formation will be unable to defeat me!

Lin Yu raised his eyes and said, "It's just one more small fry, it won't change anything..."

"I'm not some nobody!"

The fifth door opens!

Boom! Sweat evaporated into green steam, Kai's thick black hair stood on end, his muscles turned red, and veins bulged: "Kakashi, I'll cover you here! You get out of here!!"

"Kai!!"

"Both of us are going to die anyway, so I might as well save you, Kakashi. I've always believed that you're the man who will become Hokage in the future. Go!!" Guy roared and charged forward, swinging his powerful iron fist at Lin Yu.

*Buzz!* Lin Yu's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed, and his Susanoo skeleton was released, draped over his body, blocking Kai's fist!

Lin Yu said coldly, "Heh, so you're entrusting your children to someone? Don't worry, none of them will escape..."

"Kakashi, run!!!" Guy shouted.

Kakashi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't choose to retreat. Instead, he silently drew his White Fang short blade from behind him and said in a resounding voice, "My former best friend once told me that a guy who abandons his comrades is worse than trash..."

Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

Crack! Purple lightning erupted from the white fang's short blade.

Lin Yu couldn't help but be surprised: This is... Purple Lightning!? Isn't that the powerful Lightning Release technique that Kakashi developed after becoming the Sixth Hokage to make up for the lack of Sharingan?

Kakashi's single eye shone with purple light as he declared in a resounding voice, "Uchiha Yu, what you said last time greatly shocked me. Yes, I was too weak before, weak and overconfident, unable to protect my comrades. Because of this, I have become stronger!!"

Crack! The purple lightning on the short blade suddenly exploded.

"Kai!!" Kakashi shouted!

"Oh!! This is youth!!"

The Sixth Gate Opens!

Boom!! The green vapor outside Kai's body suddenly exploded several times over.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu's mind stirred, and Susanoo, with its muscles coiling around it, donned an outer garment, entering its second form.

Kai leaped high into the air, punching the sky with his fist: "Roar, youth!!"

Morning Peacock!!

Boom boom boom boom!!

The fist rubbed against the air, unleashing a torrent of fireballs that rained down on Susanoo. Under such fierce bombardment, Susanoo's outer shell crumbled, revealing its underlying skeleton!

Crack! A flash of purple light, Kakashi charged forward, his short sword piercing the skull. Purple lightning erupted, and crack!! Cracks quickly appeared on the skull, and with another powerful thrust from Kakashi, it crumbled with a deafening roar!!

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and activated Penetration.

Kakashi rushed to Lin Yu's side, his White Fang short sword drawing a silver arc...

White Fang Blade Technique - Soul-Slaying Strike!

"Hmm? This ominous feeling... Could it be that this slash is a soul attack?! White Fang's secret technique? So Purple Lightning was only meant to destroy Susanoo; this is his true killing move!!"

Lin Yu sensed something was wrong, took a step back, and avoided the slash.

Crackling sound! At the same time, intense lightning crackled around Lin Yu's right hand.

"Chidori... no, Raikiri!!" Kakashi exclaimed in astonishment.

"Kakashi, don't hesitate!!!" Guy shouted as he landed, his body bent over.

"Ah!!" The white fang blade, crackling with purple lightning, clashed with the lightning blade...

Kakashi froze in place. On his chest, there was a cut that emitted arcs of electricity, the wound reaching the bone!

Lin Yu stood unharmed, but...

Crack! Crack! A crack appeared in the middle of his mask, splitting it in two, with the left half falling to the ground.

"Who...whose face is this?" Kai asked, completely bewildered.

Lin Yu slowly turned around, his face turned towards Kakashi, and said with some complicated feelings, "You've really gotten stronger, Kakashi..."

Chapter 96 Obito, it was you, wasn't it!

Kakashi turned and looked at Lin Yu's face, half of which was hidden behind a mask, and suddenly lost control of his emotions: "Obito!! It's you, isn't it? It really is you!!"

"Well, who knows..." Lin Yu said indifferently, neither admitting nor denying.

"Obito, it's you, isn't it?!" Kakashi suddenly turned around, reached out, and grabbed the other half of Lin Yu's mask.

But Lin Yu casually grabbed his wrist.

A strange hatred welled up in Lin Yu's body, which originally belonged to Obito.

Lin Yu knew that this was Obito's lingering obsession within this body.

For Konoha, for Kakashi, for Minato, and... for Rin.

Lin Yu took over this body, and this obsession became a part of Lin Yu himself.

His hand unconsciously tightened its grip, tightening it further...

*Crack!* Kakashi's hand bones snapped with a sharp sound, the excruciating pain causing him to let out a scream: "Ah!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Kakashi clutched his broken arm, leaning over Lin Yu, panting heavily, his unfocused gaze fixed on the face above him.

Lin Yu bent down, picked up the other half of the mask that had fallen to the ground, covered the exposed half of his face, then turned to look at the stunned Might Guy and said in a deep voice, "I'll pretend your little tricks tonight didn't happen. Take him and get out of my sight as soon as possible."

"Obito, you hate me, don't you? You hate me... for not protecting Rin!"

With a thud, Kakashi collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and passed out.

Lin Yu urged Matt Kai, "Get out of here before I change my mind."

"..." Might Guy walked past Lin Yu, hoisted the unconscious Kakashi onto his shoulder, and gave Lin Yu a deep and complicated look in his eyes beneath his thick eyebrows. Whoosh! Then he disappeared from the spot with Kakashi.

Lin Yu stood there for a long time.

As the sun set over, she arrived at the nearby Tianyu Pavilion after hearing the commotion, and began to observe from the shadows.

"Yu," she called out with a complicated feeling.

"It's alright now," Lin Yu said wistfully. "I'll have to change my mask again..."

Snow fell from the sky, and the streets became quiet.

Their respective hotels, however, were bustling with activity.

The accommodation for visitors to Kirigakure.

"Water, Water Shadow, when can I open my eyes..." Qing was hunched over in the corner, his eyes tightly closed, his face covered in sweat.

In front of the mirror in the room, Mei Terumi stood naked, tidying her long brown hair, and said slowly to Ao, "No rush, I'll be done in a little while..."

Qingxin was in a state of utter confusion: "The Water Shadow is really something! Not only did she insist on disguising herself as a man and using an alias to come to this dangerous place, but she even changed clothes so carelessly on enemy territory! If a battle suddenly breaks out, is she supposed to fight naked? Come to think of it…"

*Gulp!* Qing swallowed hard, his mind wandering: Should he activate his Byakugan and take a peek at the Mizukage's alluring young body? Just one glance, just one glance... The Mizukage shouldn't notice, right...?

Before the mirror, Mei Terumi's lips, hidden by her long hair, curled into a dangerous smile: "Ao, if you were to be melted, would you prefer 'Lava Release' or 'Boiling Release'?"

Qing was startled and stammered, "Well, it's better not to be melted. I still want to serve Lord Mizukage..."

Mei Terumi said quietly, "Then behave yourself. Your chakra is all disordered, it seems to be concentrating towards your right eye..."

Qing smiled wryly: "Yes, sir..."
